Maxim Ali noted that the development of technology will lead to the appearance of highly-specialised firms.  “Technology is changing the legal services market, reducing the number of routine tasks which lawyers must complete.  Increasing the number of robots will reduce the number of lawyers but will also result in the development of highly-specialised firms, as has taken place in the West”, concluded Maxim.
